Individual Consult/Mentorship Sessions

Courses, articles and YouTube videos can be helpful, but every writer’s path to success is as individual as the books they write. That’s why nothing can replace a one-on-one consultation with a publishing and marketing expert. In a one-hour Google Meet, you’ll get specific answers and actionable next-steps tailored to your books.

Need ongoing help? We’re happy to mentor you across multiple sessions about any aspect of general writing, self-publishing, marketing or advertising that you need guidance on.

"I recently had a one-on-one marketing teleconference with Craig from Hidden Gems. This was prior to the launch of my new series of books that, as a new indie author, I felt I needed assistance and advice with. There are only so many internet courses et al that one can complete without the need for actual personal interaction to not only tie the loose ends together, but also provide an objective comment and some guidance.

"Hidden Gems Facebook ads consulting service is the best investment I've made in my author career. The Facebook ad interface can look like the control panel of a space shuttle--intimidating at first glance, but so powerful once you know how to use it! Thanks to my Facebook Ads consultation, my books made 10x more than I did last year! Roland and Craig were knowledgeable, supportive, and knew so much about the romance industry.

"My advertising consult with Ginger surpassed my expectations. He went above and beyond the stated goal of helping me understand and evaluate my AMS ads to taking a broader look at my author business to identify the activities that I will most benefit from spending my time and attention on. It felt like a career consultation, which I needed more than I realized. I was so impressed, I immediately scheduled a second consultation to focus on new goals and how to accomplish them. Highly recommend!"
